Wednesday 14th August Good nights sleep, considering we camped, we got up just after 6. Breakfast jam, Nutella and bread washed down with coffee, not bad at all.
On the road, just after 7 knowing we had a big days climbing, the first part was just a steady climb for the first 10 or so miles, then it ramped up with switch backs every so often, it took us around 2 1/2 hours to reach the summit at 2340 ish meters, stopped for a photo shot an admired the view, with the knowledge that we had another massive ascent either later today or early tomorrow depending on progress today.
The plan was to enjoy the decent take as many photos as possible then have lunch in the town of X. We all enjoyed the ride down, loads of touring motorcycles passed us, with a cheery wave, before we knew it we were outside a cafe with WIFI in the town X. Just outside we met 3 German cycle tourist going the other way, once again swapped stories and chatted about the forthcoming climbs etc.
Had a nice lunch, discussed the options for the rest of today, decided it would be best to go about 70 miles then camp out again, then do the final push to the Kryistan border town tomorrow.
We carried on following the Gurda River, going through the strange sensation when it looks like you are going downhill, when it fact you are climbing. Just before we thought about stopping, we met a guy walking pulling a trolley (Forrest Gump), he seemed pretty happy. We stopped in shop about 200 m away, Forrest came bounding in, said hi and wanted to know what we were up to, he turned out to be a really nice guy, from Cezch with Swiss parents, he had been on the road for 3 years picking up the languages and dress code as he went. Check out his site"hermit crab". We left him in his own little world, really nice guy, bit bonkers, but everyone to their own.
With around 20 miles to go it was just a matter of riding it out and choosing a decent campsite and getting an evening meal. Sorted the meal out, we had the standard lagman ((noodle broth) with melon for afters, though no beers. Found a shop my eyes lit up when they came out, but to no avail dry night tonight. With the sun setting and the wind getting up it was time to find the site, with in 5 mins we were sitting up camp, I was just dispatched to find some rocks to put the pegs in, Keith forgot the mallet.
Looks like being a windy night cold night actually in the sleeping bag for the first time tonight, early night, if you can't have a beer go to bed.
